Do not go to UConn if you're looking for individualized attention from your teachers and intimate relationships with your classmates from the beginning of your college career.

Uconn is not for you if you like small tight-knit schools. It is a huge campus with thousands of people living on top of each other all doing their own thing. It's great if you like big schools but with the huge lecture halls and eight massive dining halls, it doesn?t exactly have that small town feel and get to know people. If you're not outgoing it may be difficult to make friends; because of the size, you have to make an effort to keep in touch. It?s unlikely to just ?bump into? each other.

A person should not attend this school if they like to recieve individual help. During your first two years you are not taking classes particularily for your major, mostly gen eds, therefore your average class size will be around 100-300 students. Also if you don't want to go to a big school, UCONN has about 16,000 undergraduates. A person that feels more comfortable in a smaller environment should not attend UCONN because the campus here is also very large.

Someone who does not like large campuses with some lectures up to 200-300 people per class. Someone who prefers city life shouldn't go either because it's out in farm-land.
